That's a good one. He can buy a gallon of gas for less than the coffee, too.

ROTFLMAO! Ain't that the truth? What do you say to people who bit¢h & moan about always being broke who drop $30-$40 a week at Starbucks? Most of them also wouldn't be caught dead at Wal-Mart, clipping coupons or even taking advantage of items on sale at a competing store right down the street. Some of them gladly plopped down $35k+ for their big honking V-8 SUV's or extended cab trucks that got an advertised 18 MPG on the highway. I drink 2 - 3 cups of 100% Columbian coffee every day. That costs me about $30 a year (double that for milk & sweetener). I love Wal-Mart, clip coupons & plan my shopping around sale items advertised in weekly fliers (ya, I do rebates too). In fact, with rare exception, I don't buy anything unless it's on sale. I paid off my V-6 Explorer 4+ years ago & it still gets almost 20 MPG overall, plus I ride my 50 MPG motorcycle as often as possible (the better half gets almost 30 MPG in her Impala). I really don't think I'm missing out on anything, but I ain't broke either. Do I really need to explain the obvious to these people?
